[SOLVED] Problems with mate

After another system upgrade I have the following problem:
after I login to lightdm it returns to login screen.

I have tried to use another display manager (lxde), but situation is the same.

How to fix it?

To fix it you have to downgrade system.

Do you use a Nvidia graphics card?

If your answer is yes, know that there are some people facings problems with the last nvidia package update (including myself). There is no permanent solution until now, but there is a crescent number of persons complaining so in the next days we may see some kind of fix.

For now, what you can do is a downgrade to a specific date prior to the disastrous update, so you can resume using your system. Take a look on this Arch Wiki page, "How to restore all packages to a specific date":
